CGCC to Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Chandler-Gilbert Community College is hosting a Hispanic Heritage Festival on Thursday, October 15 from 11 am to 1 pm inside the Student Pavilion. The event is free and open to the public, and will feature samples of Hispanic foods, entertainment and information about local Hispanic community organizations.

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The CGCC event is sponsored by the Hispanic Student Organization, Office of International Education Program and Student Life.
